By Friday morning,
September 6, Hurricane Dorian was located off the coast of North Carolina,
having generated tornadoes the previous day as the northern rainband came
ashore in North Carolina. The storm-total rainfall at a particular location
varies with the forward speed of the hurricane, with the size of the
hurricane's wind field, and with how vigorous the updrafts are inside the
hurricane. As Hurricane Dorian interacted with the U.S. East Coast, the only
tornado reports occurred from 4:50 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT on September 5 in North
and South Carolina. On Sept. 6 at 3:20 a.m. EDT, NASA's Aqua satellite provided
temperature data on Hurricane Dorian to show where strongest storms were
located with cloud top temperatures as cold as minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit. At
8 a.m. EDT on Sept. 6, the National Hurricane Center said the eye of Dorian was
near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
